Protestors: Vick's Sick

Animal rights protesters are angry over Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's alleged involvement with an illegal dogfighting ring. Vick was indicted on Tuesday for federal dogfighting charges.

Around 75 animal-loving members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demonstrated in front of the NFL's New York offices on Friday calling for Vick's suspension, reported the Daily News. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to rule on Vick's status.

The Humane Society of the United States held a similar protest at Nike's Portland, Oregon, headquarters. Nike recently decided not to release its newest Vick shoe, though it has seven other Vick-related items in production.

361. I am completely disgusted with Mr. Vick. ANYONE who is that cruel or knowing anyone who is that cruel to anything--animal, plant or human being and does nothing about should have to pay a very heavy penalty to society. And if it is found that Mr. Vick participated in ANY way in these acts, then the severity of penalties should be the same as if he committed those acts against a human being. God, ladies please keep your children away from this dispicable person. And if you are 'with' him, please demand he wear protection.

365. If Michael Vick aka (Ron Mexico) is out of a job then he can not pay the nurse who sued him for giving her GENITAL HERPES! Man is He UGLY!!!! He looks uglier than the ugliest dog alive!!!!!!!!!!!! The dogs should have used him in the dog fights. He would have Won just by the sight of him by the other dog. "I Forfeit, Whoof!" said the other dog.

367. Karma...I was thinking the exact same thing about the comments and the wall to wall non-news news coverage of Lohan yesterday. Fortunately, I was able to catch both press conferences on ESPN since the other stations were mostly talking about Lohan. For those of you who are trying to trash PETA now why not debate the real issue here which is about fools sneaking around under cover of darkness torturing animals? From watching the footage of everything that was removed from his property I would think that innocence here is unlikely.* Fact * is 7-8 dead dogs, "equipment", etc. were found on his property which would involve him right of the bat.

Controlling the Pet Population?!?!?!?

Are you out of your mind. If that were said in public, and any animal owner heard you.
you would probably get knocked on your head for it...Dont you ever make a foolish comment like that again!!! or if your gonna do it then remain in hiding at you computer screen. like the sick Coward that you are...You arent funny. And if you werent trying to be then you truly are SICK.

Im glad that somebody is boycotting this sick animal torturing So-Called Star.
Nobody harms an animal and gets away with it!
He must've been really screwed up in his childhood to be able to do this...
I wonder how proud his fans are now.

Vick is a diabolical person who enjoyed being the boss of innocent and helpless dogs, forcing them to kill each other, and using Golden Retrievers, who were killed, to train these poor dogs to fight and kill. The dogs who didn't want to fight were tortured and killed, buried alive, electrocuted after they were doused with water, banged on the ground until they died, or hung. This made Vick feel like a big man, throwing two dogs into a pit to fight for hours, injuring each other, causing intolerable pain and death.
Then, if the loser didn't die, he was tortured and killed while the crowd watched. What kind of human beings would enjoy that vile behavior?
In this State dog fighting is a felony conviction, and the spectators are guilty of a felony, as well.

I have heard about how serial killers start by torturing helpless animals. You have GOT to know what the men involved in such heinous and cruel behavior, as Vick is, are capable of. We have to wonder what else these people have been involved in. I hope every person involved in this cruelty toward helpless animals serves time in prison.

I don't want my children watching a monster like Vick playing football.
If justice isn't served in his being convicted and serving time in prison,
we will all boycott the games, as well as the products of the sponsors.

371. Vick woke the "Sleeping Giant", now it's up to us to do our part! Contact PETA, the Humane Society, the SPCA, or any other similar organization....write to Nike, the Falcons, the NFL, and to your state and federal representatives -- get pissed, get involved, don't let those poor tortured dogs have died in vain.

372. I just read an article from an Atlanta newspaper that stated an informant is in possession of a video tape of 'Vick the P####" at a dog fight. If that evidence surfaces, his supporters will claim "it's a Vick look-alike" or "the Feds doctored the film and it's STILL NOT HIM!" Yeah, just like the 1st man on the moon was shot in a Hollywood studio. FYI: I also found a website that is selling a t-shirt " don't VIC-timize abused dogs" at: secondchancedogs.org for those of you who want to express your feelings. (P.S. NO, I don't work for that website) My prayers go out to those poor creatures. Bless them all.

373. It seems TMZ buried this thread since it's no longer on the front page. Now I have to search to read or post comments. TMZ has the usual Lohan Spears stuff as the most commented on which they're not. Anyhow, I had to watch today's coverage on ESPN and even Fox, since, I guess msnbc and even cnn didn't feel it was as newsworthy as the wall to wall coverage they've been giving Lohan. I'll watch further coverage on Nancy Grace rather than Paula Zahn. Nothing against Zahn, but it seems she waiting to see which way the public wind blew.

374. This comment was meant for the other thread that's no longer up front even though it has over 900 comments.

Michael Vick's, what a sorry day the day you were born! Your mother must be so ashamed! So heartbroken and destroyed the day you were conceived; you would have been the perfect excuse for abortion! You are the epitome of critically deformed, soul less and without conscience. Truly evil!

Vick's you have set back your fellow brethen 100 years....confirming stupid "brothers" should NEVER come into to lots of $$$$$. Just cuz you can run fast and catch a ball doesn't make you respectable!

Money in your hands gave you power...unfortunately over dogs! Man's best friend, who trust you, love you, obey you no matter what! We all remember and loath Jeffery Dahme. Vick's you Dahmer waiting to happen! The worst of cowards and IMPOTENT too.

It's true, child and animal abusers are IMPOTENT! Michael Vick's takes out his frustration by abusing animals because he can't get it up!!! He get's a semi erection from watching his faithful loyal animals fight to the death and his final thrill ( ejaculation) when killing the loser! What a MAN! You da Man Vick's You da man!!

If you love football and football represents strength, power , honesty, integrity, AMERICA , put Vick's where he deserves to be. In prison where hopefully a "rape stand" will be "erected" by his fellow mates where he can daily realize all the fun and jolley's his prized dogs enjoyed. And when he whines hang him by his testicles, and when he groans soak him with water and electrocute him, and if he hollars toss him with all of your masculine strength against the floor.

But that's only to show your loyalty to such a coward. Keep him alive but barley. Chain him up close to a bowl of food and water, but not close enough to reach it for days. Make him hungry, make him humble, break him to want you to need you to love you. Then put him in a room of other pukes just like himself, at least three of his associates, and let them tear each others throats out! And if they don't....chain 'em up again w/o medical attention, if they survive show 'em real love and send 'em back for more!!

For smilesarefree hopefully you can receive some of the same treatment, you deserve it. If you have a mother or girlfriend or wife or children or animals I hope they can escape you NOW!! Run don't walk this coward is a danger waiting to happen ...or perhaps it's too late!

Michael Vick's you are a COWARD! An IMPOTENT COWARD! All the money in the world, all of the fame and adoration of the fans won't make you a man.

Falcon lovers if you love the game, if you truly respect the game, demand that this disgusting, pathetic waste of space be sentenced to the full extent of the law! Even if it means you lose a season. Cheaters never win...and winners never cheat!
